46 years ago today, Elvis Costello unleashed Get Happy!!—a whirlwind of punk energy, new wave swagger, and R&B soul that proved just how unstoppable his musical genius really was. Packed with 20 tracks of pure brilliance, it gave us gems like I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down and New Amsterdam.

Talk of liberal bias at universities masks the fact that there are salons and centers like this at universities all over the country where right wingers seek to buy arguments that they cannot win on the merits.
Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds. The files reveal it was something far darker

I think Fetterman should explain all of the things he’s heard people call Noem, list them in great detail, and get every last one into the record.
Go slow, Lurch.
Go slow, Lurch.
Fetterman: "I met with Secretary Noem. I've always treated her with respect. I refuse and never will engage in the kinds of sexist terms like 'ICE Barbie' that the left media will use."

Attorney General Pam Bondi has the power to hold the men in the Epstein files accountable.
But she’s doing the opposite. She’s protecting them.

Also Trump: Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station (which will also be used for future Presidential inaugurations).
Trump: "Two views of the Great Ballroom being built on the site of our wonderful White House — It is on budget, and ahead of schedule! ... Because of its unprecedented structural, safety, and security features, it will also be used for future Presidential Inaugurations."

If you are watching the opening ceremony on NBC, you won't hear the boos of JD Vance because NBC cut it. Corporations working to keep Americans in the dark about how unpopular their elected officials are. The White House reposted the censored clip.

If you want to see how Vance, the least qualified Vice President in modern American history, spends his time (rather than learning his job), watch the stiff in the audience here (or take in any number of podcasts because that seems to be mostly what he does)
guys. the kid rock performance is uh. well it’s exactly what you’d expect
